Hand-built American boot company White’s Boots continue their over-100 year heritage of premium quality footwear with a new set of their Hathorn series boots, making their way into the Japanese market. The boots are featured in a classic oxford platform with a suede finish and Vibram outsoles to provide unparalleled traction and wear in rugged conditions. Available in two colorways, both can now be purchased via ARKnets.
 

Celebrating what’s left of the Summer season, A Bathing Ape whip up three different colorways in a new picnic check print Bapesta. Blue, Red, and Black make the cut, all sporting a two-tone base with a flashy yet fairly subtle color palette. All three are now available through select A Bathing Ape flagship locations worldwide.

Los Angeles-based footwear company Stamp’d offers a closer look into four new styles from the first delivery of their Fall 2009 Collection. Included are the brand’s Faded Tri, White Slow, Chris’ Floral, and Salt N’ Peppa models, all featuring the simple, clean-cut approach seen within previous Stamp’d releases. A release can be expected soon, through select Stamp’d retailers.
 

Set up by Yuki Matsuda back in 1995, then overseas brand Yuketen moved their operations to America in order to work with true footwear Artisans. Together they produced the Moccasin hunting boot, inspired by 1930’s mountain men, designed to be silent whilst tracking wild animals. For Fall/Winter 2009, Yuketen work up two new renditions, each made in the traditional moccasin way, using American hides, which wrap your foot, not just cover it. The sole unit is made from real crepe, which is of course, 100% natural rubber from Brazil and takes about 4 hours to hand sew to the upper. Both a Sports Hunt Peanut Suede and the Sports Hunt Grain Brown are now available through select Yuketen retailers including OiPolloi.
 

A well-known collaborator in the world of kicks, Undefeated once again make their presence felt with an upcoming collaboration alongside Gourmet, making its debut at the COMPASS Tradeshow in Vegas. Taking one of the brand’s minimalistic models, Undefeated work up a mostly white epi leather colorway with black midsoles/tongue and red laces. Their signature 5-strike logo is also embossed on the sneaker’s outer side panel. Stay tuned for further details including a release date.
